Water Microturbine Generator System

A microhydropower system needs a turbine pump or waterwheel to transform the energy of flowing water into rotational energy which is converted into electricity.

Water microturbine generator system.

They are most suitable for small to medium sized commercial and industrial loads. It charges phones speakers cameras battery banks and even 12v devices by generating power from rivers and streams. Suneco microhydro is considered to function as a run of river system meaning that the water passing through the generator is directed back into the stream with relatively little impact on the surrounding ecology. But a 10 kilowatt microhydropower system generally can provide enough power for a large home a small resort or a hobby farm.

The amount of power produced will depend on the head and flow from the water source. Waterlily is lightweight packable and easy to bring on your next outdoor adventure. The system low complexity together with well proven oil lubricated bearings contributes to high reliability and low maintenance. For over 40 years we have been integrating power generation solutions into water system operations.

Internal to the hybrid ups system is a dc connection that ties lcm1 and lcm2 together but it also allows power to come from the microturbine generator and an external battery storage system. The microturbine provides input mechanical energy for the generator system which is converted by the generator to electrical energy. Heat recovery is a system that takes the exhaust gas from the turbine then passes it through the heat recuperator which takes the heated air and heats the compressed air before it enters the combustion chamber. Waterlily is a portable river turbine loved by paddlers campers and off gridders around the world.

The generator nominal frequency is usually in the range of 1 4 4 khz. Figure 5 58 shows the microturbine system. The ae t100 rotor system is composed by a high speed generator and by compressor and turbine wheels all on the same shaft which is the only rotating part in the engine. The electric power distribution system.

Soar hydropower is your one stop source for recovering renewable energy from water system operations. We are experts in hydroelectric engineering and consulting services design and development and site implementation. Its efficiency without heat recovery is only 25 30 but with heat recovery it is 70 to 80. If your water turbine generator site produces a large amount of excess energy some power companies will buy back your electricity overflow.
